The shortlists for this year's Razzies have been announced

The Golden Raspberries, or the Razzies, are the awards that nobody wants.

Honouring the worst of mainstream Hollywood's efforts, the Razzies are a reminder that the vast majority of studio output is complete and utter bollocks. This year, however, has been a bumper one - so naturally, this year's shortlist of Razzies is going to have some notable entries.

The big winner (or loser) so far has been Batman v Superman, which crops up in the most shortlists. Meanwhile, Assassin's Creed also makes it into a number of important categories, including Worst Supporting Actor for Jeremy Irons, Worst Director for Justin Kurzel and Worst Screenplay. Kristen Wiig also got a double-whammy for Worst Supporting Actress in Zoolander 2 and Masterminds, an action comedy which hasn't been released in Ireland yet.

Gerard Butler also features twice for London Has Fallen and Gods of Egypt, whilst Will Smith also has a double-shot for Suicide Squad and Collateral Beauty.

Here's the shortlists in full, with the official nominations being announced on January 23rd.
